If its anything like mine which is Royal Mail apparently Amazon say they have been alerted to a 24 hour delay.
They sent an email asking me to wait until Friday to cancel the order should it not arrive by then. But I contacted them to say that they have by the end of tomorrow and I will buy a copy on Thursday and refuse delivery of theirs.

Noticed on Saturday it said dispatched. Just checked rm tracking and it was last updated 2am sunday sayin outward acceptance handheld RDC and that was at south Western depot. I live in east Midlands. Oh well can only hope lol.

Does someone need to be in to sign or do they just shove it through the door?

Mine isn't coming today either.
Amazon told me yesterday there was a 24 hour delay.but now it's gone missing.
Cancelled my order and after doing some searching and paying £8 more got a copy from Game.
Incredibly poor from Amazon and Royal Mail.

Again, dont feel bad, problems in the states also! FedEx immediately said "shipping info received", it STILL says that 35 hours later! Dude @ FedEx says "we have the info but not the package", Dude @ Amazon says "sorry you had trouble w/ them but our records say its been shipped by FedEx Smartpost." I think they're all dickering around w/ our stuff. I've NEVER had trouble like this w/ Amazon BUT all of my pkgs were also delivered by UPS, not FedEx Smartpost.

Didn't receive the game today so I went out and bought it from Tesco's. Have to wait till the 20th to see if I ever receive the game before I can get a refund. Never pre ordering from Amazon again.

Well I've been in email, chat and on the phone w/ FedEx, Amazon trying to figure out what was up w/ mine. Just a few mins ago, someone, I dont know, w/ intelligence I suppose or at the least, some integrity, tells me the truth or part truth, that the package was delayed in transit. "This doesnt usually happen," but then tells me she will personally tell the carrier to deliver it soon.... Really SOON?! It was supposed to be here Tue, at latest today, then tomorrow, now I was told "please wait till the 21rst" ... Really?!?! Should I ?! Can I ?!

I agree, NEVER will I EVER pre-order from them again. Its about now, not worth the credit I had w/ them.

I hate to say it too since I've NEVER had any problems ordering from them but this pre-order was pathetic... To keep telling me "Oh its been sent, its been shipped 1:44am Sept 17" making me think it was FedEx's fault and now 44 hours later someone @ Amazon says "it was delayed in transit"... and they're personally going to tell the carrier to deliver it SOON!!! Oh boy that should mean I can expect it at least by the end of October right?! Just sad. ∞

Day 3 of waiting for the delivery of my GTA V copy: my facial hair has been left unattended and I look like a hamster exploded in my face. I have taken to using the curtains as napkins, TP and blankets all at the same time. The wait has taken its toll. Every day I hear more reports about people being mugged and even stabbed by raiders trying to get a hold of their victims' copies. Those who were able to secure their copies and make it back home in time haven't been spotted in days. For all I know they're dead. Or worse... They might be in on it. Been sticking close to the front door, peeking through the window every now and then in search of a white van. I keep my pellet gun close, in case a raider, a slaver or any other bastard gets any ideas about a GTA V owner living here. In that white van rests my salvation. Absolution. Tranquility. Sanity, even. Now I doubt whether it is to come at all. But I shall not be broken.

@ Orchid I liked that! It was funny as I was behind one on the highway Monday thinking " *tomorrow* I'll see it @ my house w/ my copy! " But nope, just see them riding all over town but...., FedEx still has status as "shipping info received 1:44am Sept 17" ... and thats it

Glad you got yours Avispa! Crossed fingers arent going to help here. Its like by the time the rest of us may get our copy, you guys will be finished w/ the game! I hope that some others who are *quiet* now, means they finally got theirs!

I'm still waiting for amazon.co.uk... they expect the delivery ( the dispatched it the 17th as I don't live in UK but in Italy), tomorrow, I'm waiting to play it since 2 years ( and 7 months since Rockstar announces the delay of the game... ) and some cu"t "spoilered" me the final in 2 different ways...

Mine came just a little bit ago, it is for Ps3. Amazon said it was an error on their part, apparently they over-nighted a copy and sent it UPS this time. He usually shows up later in the evening but he's always been reliable! So I'm glad Amazon took steps to rectify the problem. I hope yours comes soon, just stay on top of the situation, keep in contact, emails, chats, phone calls whatever you can get!
